CHRIS STANDRING

Chris Standring is a British jazz guitarist known for his heavy use of 1970s-style musical nuances. In an illustrious career that stretches back over the last 25 years, Chris has earned a reputation as one of the world’s most virtuosic guitarists, with considerable radio and chart success. With a catalog of fourteen solo albums, including the critically acclaimed Blue Bolero from 2010 (which spawned the single and #1 Billboard Contemporary Jazz Track of the Year, “Bossa Blue”), Standring continues to push the boundaries of the format with every new album he releases.

He has enjoyed ten number-one radio singles in total (seven of his own and three with other artists he has worked with). His 2024 release, As We Think, is an upbeat, eleven-song, super soulful workout with exotic arrangements and dazzling solos, all wrapped up in Chris’ inimitable contemporary jazz style, earning him another set of singles in the top 10 Smooth Jazz charts.

Standring continues to tour the USA and Europe annually, and we are thrilled to have him back for another night of his signature contemporary urban jazz, to showcase his latest 2026 album “Time of Change”!

CHRISTIAN MCBRIDE TRIO

Bass genius Christian McBride honors his mentor and greatest inspiration, the legendary Ray Brown, with an all-star trio of Ray Brown Trio alumni — pianist Benny Green and drummer Gregory Hutchinson.

A major figure in the development of bebop and hard bop in the 40s and 50s, Brown was among the most prolific and versatile bassists in jazz history who gained fame through his notable associations with Oscar Peterson, Ella Fitzgerald, and Dizzy Gillespie.

He led a series of remarkable trios in the 1990s and 2000s featuring Green and Hutchinson, whose recordings for the Telarc label stand as benchmarks for the time-honored format.

In addition to his own lengthy histories with both Green and Hutchinson, McBride appeared on Brown’s live 1997 bass summit release SuperBass and 2001 follow-up SuperBass 2 (along with fellow legend John Clayton). He pays tribute to the master with this special performance.

Cover: $45.00 ~ $135.00
